About

Sweet Mate Music is a Perth-based business responsible for managing two great musical acts – NEW TALK and Red Jezebel – started by Luke Rinaldi, who has won the Golden WAMi (West Australian Music Industry Association) award for Contribution to the Music Industry (in 2003, 2006 and 2011), and also the WAMi Management award in 2011 & 2013.

Sweet Mate Music is also the booking agent for four more more fantastic original acts – Downsyde, The Kill Devil Hills, Lucy Peach and The Love Junkies – and also books the entertainment for WA venues Badlands Bar, The Bassendean Hotel and Fremantle’s Railway Hotel.

And let’s not forget The Sea Of Tunes, Perth’s favourite Beach Boys tribute band, and Some Like It Yacht (paying homage to late 70s/early 80s Yacht Rock) made up of some of the original music scene’s favourite harmonisers!

Luke has also been responsible for curating WA’s State Of The Art Festival since 2014. The festival has hosted acts such as Birds Of Tokyo, Jebediah, Karnivool, Drapht, Gyroscope, You Am I, San Cisco, The Stems, The Scientists & Ta-ku.
